for future reference. After conslt
ering we'll the merits OF the Gu
Coast in all their bearings fron
California to Florida, he anne +
the conclusion that the feasibility
of deep water navigation, and th'
tact that nature had made the Pas
cagoula Bay and River the santa
RAM par excellence, there were prime
inducements for timely wonderful
Improvement, and submitted his
plans to interested New York capt
talists.
Accordingly, while at Louisville,
Ky, a few days ago he received
instructions from New York to visit
Pascagoula and report npon the
feasibility of building an independ-
ent railroad from here to the north
ern part of the State, making con-
nections via Memphis and Kansas
City, with the Northwest for the
transportation of meat, corn, wheat,
cotton, etc, Building a hotel here
for the Northern people to winter
over, aud for the Southern people
to summer, yacht clubs for the
navigators, two good chem
ical laboratories With young men at
The head, sash and blind factories,
finishing wood work, box factories
and kindred industries, aud ship
ping headquarters of yellow pine
for Europe.
Col. Karwiese spent only a short
line with us, having already posted
himself as to u port facilities, aud
eft for a trip over the Coast for
urther investigation and inquiry,
promising TO return IN few days.
de was highly pleased with further
and information, con
idering the placid, still waters of
ar land-locked deep water Bay, a
ne natural harbor, endowed by
ature with every advantage that
Ould be desired.
As for the hotel, he considered
ar climate as good, and our high,
ry bluff beach front aud freedom
'om deep, burning sand as superior
anything he had seen in Florida, I
nd our River aud Bay for yachting,
ur surf undisturbed By the fresh |
of the Mississippi, or our

Other features considered were {
lat an extensive hotel could be
with milk and butter from u
1me creameries, fresh meats from II
sighboring ranches, every vegeta. "
e from our own gardens; the fin n
t of fish aud oysters from our &.
iters, both salt aud fresh F; the u
Dst delicious tropical frnits from NJ
own orchards and Southern v
rts, besides the game for the NJ
ortsman of bird, beast and fish I'll
the choicest variety. hi
With these reflections we feel te
n6dent that the report of Col. pc
lrwiese will be favorable. He bt
IS there will be no difficulty 10 vi
-rresting sufficient capital to 70
rry out the entire scheme if m
Ind to be advisable. VI
We asked him what he thought to
